Great Scott Named Player Of The Week
March 24, 2003 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Manchester Monarchs News Release
MANCHESTER, New Hampshire â Week 24 of the 2002-03 American Hockey League season was a special one for Manchester Monarchs goaltender Travis Scott, who today was rewarded for his remarkable play by being named the Sher-Wood AHL Player of the Week.
Scott, 27, went 2-0-1 in three starts last week while stopping 113 of the 116 shots he faced (.972 save percentage). His exceptional week included shutout victories over the Norfolk Admirals (1st in the South Division) on March 19 and the Providence Bruins (1st in the North Division) on March 21. It also included a lengthy scoreless streak (162:58), a franchise-record 50 saves (March 19 vs. Norfolk, 3-0 Win), a franchise record 19th consecutive appearance (March 22 vs. Providence, 3-3 Tie), and a miniscule 0.97 goals against average.
Scott, a native of Kanata, Ontario, is 5-0-1 in his last six starts with three shutouts. Signed by the Los Angeles Kings as a free agent in February of 2000, the 6-foot-2, 185-pound backstop is 86-77-13 in 193 career AHL contests. Prior to his stint with the Monarchs, Scott also patrolled the pipes for the Lowell Lock Monsters (1999-01) and the Worcester IceCats (1996-97). Scott, who is one win away from equaling the Monarchs franchise record for wins in a season with 21, was honored as the AHL's Goaltender of the Month in December of 2001. He also represented the Monarchs at the 2002 AHL All-Star Classic played in St. John's, Newfoundland.
In recognition of his achievement, Scott will receive a Sher-Wood leather jacket, presented to him during an on-ice ceremony prior to an upcoming game. In addition, Sher-Wood will donate five travel bags to a local youth hockey organization in his name.
The Monarchs (37-21-10-5, 89 points) will put their seven-game unbeaten streak on the line when they return to action on Friday at the Verizon Wireless Arena for a match with the Worcester IceCats (7:35 p.m.). Single seats in the Gold level and 500 seats in the Silver level are all that remain for Friday's game. For Monarchs ticket information, call (603) 626-7825.
